[NU Sports] No more Sweet Sioux Tomahawk

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

Maybe Peter Warner and Dennis Brandt won't comment on this but I sure will.  The PC police are rapidly destroying all past knowledge of this country it goes along with removing Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn from libraries because of references to Nigger Jim.  I was once criticized for writing about the Jap Navy in reference to World War II.  I also understand that newspaper headlines from those days referring to th Japs have been removed from the so-called newspaper museum.  I guess the only reason that the Fighting Irish mascot of ND survives is that the Irish out number the Indians. I understand that North Dakota University refused to give up their name of the fighting Sioux for theirr hockey team and the NCAA backed off from declaring them ineligible for the NCAA hockey tournament.

Let us hope that PETA doesn't succeed in having animal mascots banned.

The World Turned Upside Down would seem to be an appropriate anthem today


Go Cats.
